Strong typing has reduced runtime failures and supports predictable backend operations
The biggest area for improvement in Ada is ecosystem depth. While Ada itself is very solid, the library ecosystem is still thinner compared to Go and Rust, especially for newer cloud-native tooling and integrations, meaning we occasionally have to build wrappers or bindings ourselves, which adds some friction. Documentation and onboarding could be smoother, especially for developers new to Ada coming from modern ecosystems. The core docs are good, but practical examples around debugging, package patterns, and a modern deployment workflow could be more polished. We created some internal starter templates to shorten the ramp-up time, which helped, but better out-of-the-box guidance would make adoption easier.

Jamf School is so easy to use. Perhaps because I have been in the technology field for so long, it did not take a lot of training, and the training that Jamf does is amazing. The documentation and behind-the-scenes support is great. There is not really much I would say I would want to see improved. If I had to think of even a small area where Jamf School could be improved, I think some of our more experienced users that know how to do custom scripting would appreciate it because we do have techs that also use Jamf Pro that get to that custom scripting, and sometimes in Jamf School, there is not really that same layer. If there was something they could do a little bit more to allow those that do have the capabilities to do some of that, that might be useful. It is also that Jamf School is mostly an Apple-first platform, but as our campuses are growing and more Chromebooks are becoming available, it would be nice if Jamf School was as good with the other platforms versus just Apple products. Regarding app requests within Jamf School, I would appreciate it if there was something in there that would make it easier for the teachers to request apps more effortlessly. Instead of back-and-forth emails, if there was a direct feature for a teacher's app request, it would help. We have not really used that very much. Teachers can browse it, and maybe we are just not using it to the greatest ability, but as long as that app request feature was very easy for teachers to use, we would get more app requests quickly instead of them having to create help tickets.
